Update #30: How Stuff is Made

[Tigranes]

The pie charts would never have made everyone happy. If you reduce QA, apparently it means a buggy game. If you reduce product management, it means an ill managed game. If you reduce artists, it's an ugly game, etc, etc. If you keep the pie charts exactly the same, then that's a problem too...

A donut chart would be more fun, because then we can debate the appropriate size for the hole in the middle.

Yeah, people want to have their pie (chart) and eat it...

 

Nothing like executive summaries in powerpoint format

Telling so much, but in the end, telling nothing at all.

 

But hey, it keeps the talks alive

The thing to keep in mind is that, while this update didn't have the discussion that a story-line or game-mechanic update would, it's still garnered over 8k views. I'm certain way more people read these updates than post in them, truth to tell, although some lively discussions are certain to arise from a discussion about souls. hehe I'm going to don my asbestos armor and enjoy the show when they get down to the nitty gritty on *that*! :Cant's **** eating grin icon:

Honestly, if you sit down with Excel .... you can learn a lot from this thread. Still trying to figure out who the 3 other designers are.... I wonder if they're going to be mid-level designers.... :D
